A Greeley man was found dead Sunday afternoon in Loveland in what police are ruling a homicide.

Loveland police were dispatched to the south parking lot of the Chilson Recreation Center, 700 E. 4th St. in Loveland, at about 2 p.m. Sunday, where they found Billy Kirk Page, 41, unresponsive, according to a Sunday news release from the Loveland Police Department. Page was transported by ambulance to the Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland, where he was pronounced dead.

Police say Page and Cory James Nix, 32, of Loveland, were both passengers on a privately chartered bus which drove them from the recreation center to Black Hawk. On the return trip to Loveland, Nix and Page were involved in an argument on the bus, according to the release.

Upon arriving back at the recreation center, Nix assaulted Page after Page got off the bus, according to the release.

The Larimer County Coroner’s office completed an autopsy Sunday afternoon and ruled Page’s death a homicide caused by blunt force trauma, according to the release.

Nix was not at the scene when police arrived, but he was arrested Sunday and is in custody on suspicion of felony second degree murder.

Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Detective Paul Arreola of the Loveland Police Department at (970) 962-2032.
